78. Ypsolophus ? steatellus, sp. n. 



Anlennce biserrate towards the apex ; fuscous, annulate with 

 pale cinereous, basal and adjacent joints brownish ochreous. 

 Palpi (missing). Head cinereous. Thorax leaden grey above, 

 brownish ochreous at the sides, with two lateral ferruginous spots 

 posteriorly. Fore ivings brownish ochreous on the costal half, the 

 dorsal half dark ferruginous blending to tawny fuscous ; on the 

 pale costal half the ground-colour blends and varies with many 

 different tints, a shining leaden-grey suffusion along its lower edge 

 reaching nearly to the apex is repeated near the base of the 

 costa — the costa itself (especially on its outer half) becoming pale 

 rusty brown rather than brownish ochreous ; the dark dorsal half 

 also varies in tone and colour, its upper edge (which although 

 nearly straight is slightly indented a little beyond the middle) is 

 rich reddish ferruginous throughout, blending to dark tawny 

 fuscous along the dorsum and becoming even darker towards the 

 termen and tornus ; a leaden-grey line around the apex and 

 termen is followed by the parti-coloured cilia, which are dark 

 tawny grey on their dorsal half with three pale ochreous spots 

 along their base and pale brownish ochreous on their costal 

 half with rusty-brown spots near their base. Exp. al. 16 mm. 

 Hind ivings dark tawny grey, semitransparent with bluish re- 

 flections towards the base ; cilia subiridescent bluish, or brownish 

 grey. Abdomen bronzy grey. Legs brownish grey, with an soneous 

 tinge externallv.

The palpi are unfortunately missing in the type, but I have 

 little doubt that it is a true Ypsolophus allied to Jtavivittellas, 

 Clem., with which it agrees in neuration and general appearance.
